I also installed Macs Fan Control after the first card failed, which may be used to regulate fan speed based on the temperature of a user specified sensor. I bought the warranty from MacPalace, and am waiting on my replacement card. The first was a refurbished card from an ebay seller, the second is advertised by MacPalace as Apple refurbished. The graphics card, though it is fast when working, increases the heat, and has been subject to failure (2 cards have failed so far). I combined the disc drive and SSD into a fusion drive, which works fairly well. I also installed a 2TB Toshiba disc drive, a 960GB Crucial SSD (replaced the optical drive per directions on this site), upgraded to the GeForce 8800 GS video card, and am using a second monitor (24 inch Apple Cinema display connected using a Kanex adapter). Also, the cost was about half that of the SLAQD version, perhaps due to less demand. The presumed benefit of the SLGEA version is lower heat generation. The specifications are identical, excepting that the TDP (Thermal Design Power) is listed as 11 watts lower than the 3.06Ghz SLAQD E8435 (44W rather than 55W). I successfully installed a 3.06Ghz SLGEA E8435 in my early 2008 24" iMac, which is listed as the processor for the March 2009 iMac.

The Mac Pros were made for professionals while the iMacs are basically entry level machines. The base machine can be had for about $3000 and you can dump all the money you want into it. This machine is right at 4 times faster than your current machine and the 5th fastest Mac ever.

For example, my Early 2009 Mac Pro dual Intel Xeon X5570 has four hard drives, RAID card, three video cards and 32 GIGS of RAM and a Geekbench of 15548.
The Geekbench on your machine is 3833/4284* *These Geekbench 2 benchmarks are in 32-bit and 64-bit modes, respectively. These would serve your needs much better than an iMac. In all I would say that you have the wrong machine. You have a 3 Gb/s BUS so your hard drive can be upgraded. Your processor is a ZIF socket and can be upgraded to a 3.06 GHz
*Apple officially supports 4 GB of RAM, but third-parties have been able to upgrade the system to 6 GB of RAM using one 2 GB and one 4 GB memory module.
